!Flavours of Microsoft Windows
* __Windows 1.x/2.x__: Fun(?) with 286's.
* __Windows 3.1__: Still openly sat on top of [DOS].
-* __Windows 95/98/ME
__: Crappy
. Edit me.
+* __Windows 3.11 for Workgroups__: Same as Windows 3.1 with better networking bits.
+
* __Windows 95/98/98 Second Edition/Millenium Edition
__: Still sat on top of [DOS], but pretended not to
. 98SE still popular today with gamers as many games written for it don't run well on the newer, NT-kernel-based versions
* __Windows NT: __ In 19?? Microsoft decided to abandon their participation in [IBM]'s [OS/2] project and instead decided to create Windows NT. Microsoft's latest Windows NT derived OS is Windows XP.
-* __Windows 2000__: 1999. What I consider to be the best release of Windows so far. But even then it isn't so great. It sold well.
-* __Windows XP__: 2001. Microsoft's current drug of choice. Comes in a number of varieties (Home, Server
, Professional, Embedded) etc. See also; [eXtraPants]
+* __Windows 2000__: 1999. What I consider to be the best release of Windows so far. But even then it isn't so great. It sold well. Available in a number of varieties such as; Professional as a workstation; Server; Advanced Server; and Datacenter
.
+* __Windows XP__: 2001. Microsoft's current drug of choice. Comes in a number of varieties (Home, Professional, Embedded) etc. See also; [eXtraPants]
* __PocketPC 2002__: Previously known as Windows CE, and renamed because we all called it WINCE.
+* __Windows 2003__: You can basically call this XP Server. It's easier to setup than Windows 2000 Server, and it looks and feels like Windows XP. No workstation version available at the moment (See Windows XP)
